Sublime!

[MexMuleProductions]

We love it that he plays and also directs at the same time. Great video.

[tdub1941]

Yes, You are correct. I guess that if he were not conducting he probably wouldn't play it properly.

Thanks for your comment!

Wow nicely done! I know you're not Westy but, it looks like he's playing a Eb Sousaphone.

[tdub1941]

I am clueless about what key the Sousaphone is, but Westy sure can manage that big hunk of brass nicely!

Thanks for your comment.

Westy plays a BBb Conn sousaphone, I believe a 20K. I have had the pleasure and privilege of attending two jazz camps where he was the faculty bass instructor.

[tdub1941]

Howdy Paul!

Nice to hear from you and thanks for your information about Westy's Sousaphone.
